Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>President Hakainde Hichilema, representing Zambia at the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) in Dubai, took advantage of the international platform to engage with leaders from diverse sectors. Among the distinguished visitors to the Zambian Pavilion was His Excellency Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and founder of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change.<\/p>\n

During the bilateral discussions at the Zambian Pavilion, President Hichilema and Mr. Blair exchanged views on various matters of global significance.

\u201cWe were honored to host His Excellency Tony Blair at our Zambian Pavilion during COP28. The discussions were insightful, touching on important global issues. Engaging with leaders from different sectors, including those from the corporate world, allowed us to exchange ideas and perspectives,\u201d stated President Hichilema.<\/p>\n

The presence of the former UK Prime Minister underscored the international recognition of Zambia\u2019s commitment to addressing climate change and fostering sustainable development. The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change has been at the forefront of promoting effective governance, economic development, and tackling global challenges.<\/p>\n
